Im on my thrid k850i and havnt had any problems with screen or dust problems. All of them had creaky battery covers tho and this one is no different. To be honest tho, All se phones creak at the battery cover. K700, K600, K750, K800 and the K810 (Altho this one was better)
Creaky back doesnt worry me at all. I just ignore it, if the back drops of, then ill get worried.
Other wise The build issue for me are ok, but for a flagship model. I think it could be loads and loads better.
Time can only tell
what firmware you running? and what build if you've dared to take the "adventure" and check lol

On the first 2 I have R1CA029 and both of my phones ended becoming flashing bricks on bootup.
The third phone ive has for 5 days is R1CA037 (O2) and the firmware is no way perfect, but compare to the first 2 its 50% better in my eyes.
I was told SE that a firmware should have been released aprox 2 weeks ago but SE delayed it, I was then told that SE are releasing the firmware in the next 7 days, However im not so sure now.
Im not sure if the firmware will not be released until jan 2008, but this is going to be a major firmware update for all the a200 platform phones

it seems to be very hit and miss at the min.
Se seems to have got the K850i really bad, with build and software.
This is a flagship phone that i dont think is flagship material, Dont get me wrong, I luv the k850i and wouldnt send it back, but ive had better and expect better. This is however just ok.
Im hoping that the replacement to the k850 is much much better, or thats me of to another mobile manufacture next time. and I think a lot have already gone to the other manfuctures

mine has the earlier firmware...works fine...only sometimes, video playback is slow while sound surpasses it or vice versa...
also, i fell on top of the phone
THAT gave me a creaky back but fixed it by stuffing some paper in a crevice
Works perfectly for me currently...no issues....the video problem is actually pretty cool and results is HILARIOUS video playback...good fun

@A L 3 X
If u have decided the k850i then go with it.
I have one thing to say and one thing to request from you.
I want to say
"This is how faulty the SE Cybershot have become"
I want to request
After u have bought the phone, there is dedicated thread for K850i bugs
please post the bugs there so that it can be rectified.
Thanks
So now is it true or not?

nearly every new phones have small problems...w910, k850, w960, N95, etc, etc, etc
its nothing odd with that...k850 is still a awesome phone with good build quality, good sound & a very good camera...(my k850 works perfect, the chassi is perfect, no strange sounds, no loose screen, no dust....nothing)
Sonyericsson is well-known around the world for thier good quality & design, (not the opposite)

So far, so jolly well good. No creaks, no loose screen, no crappy build quality, Camera lens cover still slides back and forward like a well oiled machine, nowt wrong with it, just the BLOODY SOFTWARE. Maybe I was lucky, I dunno. You'll never beat the K800 though, that one was bombproof. Mine fell from a moving forklift at nearly 30 miles an hour, and still worked fine. I'm never going anywhere else any more, looks like I got the SE bug.
